From a u.s.g.s digital pamphlet I have recently seen Kilauea is known as an effusive volcano but has a history as recent as 1790 of being an explosive volcano having erupted on the scale of mt st Helen.So the way I understand it madam Pele may continue her leisurely stroll through puna.Or she may decide to pick it up a bit or a whole lot. No way of knowing if or when only that it HAS happened in the past.Safe well I don't believe any of us are ever safe,any sense of security is a false sense of security. Better for your psyche to forget all that bunk and realise how correct M.R. Tom Petty was when he wrote "sure as night will turn to day most things I worry about never happen any way".Then be sure to have a good escape plan.I for one can't wait to as I see it so aptly put elsewhere on this site "live on the edge of creation"If the last thing I see is Pele blowing her top its got to be better than the drunk driver in the wrong lane or the cancer clinic or well you get the idea.
